Blocking HDHomeRun Prime Tuner for a user/Mac address using TOMATO 1.28

I am using HDHomeRun Prime Tuner. This tuner is connected to network via Ethernet cable. Any computer in network can use this tuner. My sons have tuned this device on their computers. I don't have access to these computers as they keep these computers password protected.

I am using ASUS router (RT_N66U). I have TOMATO firmware 1.28 installed on this router. I have set access restrictions on my sons computers using their mac addresses.

This router turns off internet for my kids on certain time daily. But it does not turn off HDHomeRun Prime Tuner connected to network.

So after internet is off they keep on watching Cable late night. It kills the purpose of turning off the internet.

I have scheduled some recordings, If I unplug this device from internet it effects my recordings.

How can I turn off their access to the Tuner without unpluging the ethernet cable?

Your Help is appreciated.

I have one more question:

I am using ASUS router (RT_N66U). I have TOMATO firmware 1.28 installed on this router. I have external portable hard drive connected via USB.

Currently this drive is shown as "UNKNOWN". How can I assign a name to this drive?

This drive is available to my computer connected to the same router. It is not available to other computer connected to same network via unmanaged 5-port switch.

Your Help is appreciated.

I need what is basically the same solution but to a different problem. I have a NAS drive that never sleeps because of Network Discovery from other computers on my network. Basically I want to use access control to cut the entire network access to this device (not just internet access). Isn't there some way to block "all" access to a specific device?
